DYK? 80% of people move April-September. Most of those moves happen June-August – meaning it’s officially prime time moving season. And I can attest to this, since my husband and I just moved last week.
Through personal recommendations and a quick search on Soda City Connectors, we were able to find tons of highly recommended people + businesses for all your home needs. So here’s a guide you’ll want to have handy as you prep for your move – or if your house just needs a little TLC.

Because you don’t want this to be you..

Their t-shirts say “lifting the burden off of you,” and that’s exactly what they do.

🗣“Rebecca is very professional and trustworthy. Her and her team did an amazing job cleaning my apartment for an extremely reasonable price. They were very accommodating and used pet-friendly cleaning supplies. They also allowed my dog to roam the apartment while they cleaned so he wouldn’t have to be in a kennel all day and made sure he didn’t get out of the apartment (So grateful for this!)” –Shannon
